I read this great article in USA TODAY last week entitled “A Christian view of war.” It is a part of a religion series that the paper runs every Monday. I think the subtitle by the author, Oliver “Buzz” Thomas, says it all: What would Jesus do in Iraq? He’d offer compassion, he’d feed the hungry, he’d even pray for the enemies. What he’d really do is give American Christians–Republicans and Democrats alike–something to think about. Are we as Christians ready to get serious about following the teachings of Jesus?
